The last few weeks we have had a couple of different visitors with us from the US. First we had a group from one of our supporting churches here for a week. They had a very difficult time getting here with their first flight being canceled the first day and thy had to return home. They returned the next day with another flight, this time to Lima Peru and then Bolivia but their flight left late for Lima and they missed the flight to Bolivia. The next day they got a flight to Santiago Chile and the next morning back to Bolivia and finally made it three days late. Thankfully they were able to extend their stay for a few days so they were able to be here for close to a week. While visiting we were able to show them the great need for the gospel here in Cochabamba and also have them participare and the churches that we have started. They were able to sing several specials and give testimonies and the pastor was able to preach several different times. We also had a pastor’s get together one night where they asked many questions about dealing with issues in their lives and churches. It was truly an edifying time. We are praying for many of the teenagers that were here that the Lord will have used this time to impact them for missions.
We also had with us, the last two weeks, a couple that are friends of ours, Luke and Megan Moore. Luke came down two years ago on a mission’s trip and now two years later, and married, him and his wife are praying about the Lords will and where He wants them to serve in missions. While here, we were able to take them to see a museum that used to be a monastery, where young girls, at the age of ten would enter and give their lives to complete isolation from the world. When these young girls would enter the monastery, they would never leave again, never seeing their families and were even buried in the monastery. There are still several of the Nuns that live in a different section of the monastery that are in their 90’s that never leave. We also took them to several areas of our city where there are hundreds of thousands of people and no solid church that we know of that is reaching the people there. They were also able to sing several specials in the different churches and Luke was able to preach several different times. Please pray for them, that the Lord will direct them to know what His will is for their lives.
